REEL TO BED KNIFE ADJUSTMENT

Pre-single point adjustment units.

Fig.19

When the reels are sharp, and correctly adjusted to the bed-knife, they will cut paper as clean as scissors.

To adjust the reel blade to bed-knife clearance :

•Check the Bed-knife and the Bed-knife Holder Screws for tightness.

•Compress the Telescopic Arm with the belt release tool, to allow the Reel to be rotated.

CAUTION

The Telescopic Arm is heavily ‘spring loaded’. Exercise care when compressing it to avoid personal injury.

•Turn the reel manually. If the reel blades contact the Bed-knife, turn the Reel Adjusters CCW until there is no contact.

•Back-off the lock-slug screw and turn each reel adjuster CW, in small amounts, until the reel blades ‘just’ contact the bed-knife.

•Adjust the reels to give an even cut across the full length of the bed-knife.

•Tighten the lock-slug screw.
